A guide to the companies, lobbyists and think tanks behind the push for fracking in the UK


{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/toTLr2yIJ5E%7C450%7Ccenter%7CWatch and share: 'Meet the Frackers: a Spinwatch lobbying tour'}} This portal is part of Powerbase—your guide to networks of power, lobbying and deceptive PR. Powerbase has a policy of strict referencing and is overseen by a managing editor.

Who is behind the push for fracking in the UK?

Our Fracking portal tracks the companies, people and lobbyists behind the all-out push for shale gas exploration in the UK and beyond. It sheds light on who is influencing the debate over fracking and the tactics used to persuade the public and our politicians.

See TIMELINE: FRACKING IN THE UK

Can you help?

Powerbase can be made more effective if more people join the project. If you have research or writing skills or just spare time, you can help.

If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created stubs. (If you look at the recent changes page you will see these 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out).

There is an automatically updated page which includes the pages signalled by Powerbase users as most wanted. There's also a page with a list of Things you can do to help.

Or if you'd like some other suggestions closer to your interests you could drop Powerbase editor, Melissa Jones an email: melissa jones AT Powerbase.info
